Stone said in an interview that he was satisfied with the Rockets' current interior configuration and believed Wood, Cousins and Capoclo could help the team a lot. Despite the general manager's confidence, some fans still believe that the Rockets' interior line looks a bit weak and still needs a tough bench center.
Salary expert Bobby Marks today made a list of the more famous free agents. The two interior linemen, Dedmund and O'Quinn, are still unemployed, but they are actually a good fit for the Rockets.
The 31-year-old 2 meters 13 arm span 2 meters 24 meters Dedmont is strong and defensive, after all, it is a spur veteran. Dedmond also developed a three-point shooting ability, and he shot nearly 40% from the outside in the regular season in the 2018-2019 season.
The 30-year-old 2m 06 arm span 2m 25M Auquin has always been considered a cost-effective substitute center, looking like a tough guy. Last season, O'Quinn didn't have many chances with the 76ers, but he also played some eye-catching performances. For example, he played 32 minutes in the 76ers against the Suns and scored a quasi-triple-double performance of 9 points, 10 boards and 11 assists.
Rocket reporters didn't reveal stone's interest in Dedmond and O'Quinn. However, if cousins and Capoclo's performance does not meet expectations, it is not excluded that the Rockets will give those two interior fighters a chance. Of course, that's if they were still free agents.
Bobby Marks also has the names of bamot and Tyson Chandler, two rocket veterans, on his list. Bamot, who once played a super high plus-minus of +57, is now unloved, which is indeed a regrettable thing.
Bamot has been on his back since leaving the rocket, first seriously injured and later infected with the virus. Unable to gain D'Antoni's trust, Bamot sat on the cold bench in the playoffs last season. Recently, it has not been revealed that there are teams willing to give Bamot a chance, he is indeed a bit miserable.
Tyson Chandler is 38 years old and may consider retiring if he continues to not get a contract from an NBA team. Chandler said three months ago that he wanted to continue his career, but at that time he thought he was in good shape and would find his next home. Now things are different, the Bulls and Mavericks have not contacted Chandler, and the Rockets have not retained him. Chandler, who is not bad money and has a championship ring, may learn from Noah and retire from the NBA.
